The director for fuel cycle programs at industry trade group the Nuclear Energy Institute said, “It's slowed down the growth of nuclear globally and led to some countries cutting back or ending their nuclear program. Supply was not as quick to react to this huge loss of demand.”

NASA is working on new missions to send astronauts back to the Moon and on to Mars. They have developed a new spacecraft capsule design, a new heavy rocket to carry the capsule into space and the design for a new space station called the Lunar Gateway to orbit the Moon. This station will serve as a way-station for deep space missions.
